Interpol's Paul Banks To Release New EP, Album

Back in February, it was reported that Interpol frontman Paul Banks was readying another solo LP for later this year, following 2009's comparatively exuberant Julian Plenti Is... Skyscraper. Today, Matador have announced that a full-length is in the works for the fall, and that it will be preceded by a five-song EP on June 12.

Julian Plenti Lives... is apparently centred around the "beautiful, brooding" "Summertime is Coming" (a very un-Interpol sentiment), along with an original instrumental and covers of songs by J Dilla, Frank Sinatra and The Running Man OST composer Harold Faltermeyer. There's no music to hear yet, but check out the equine artwork below, and watch the video for "Games for Days" from ...Skyscraper.
